 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at Lafayette campground. There was no cost, just a requested donation. There were 7-10 cars in the lot when we arrived at 9 am. About the same when we returned at 3:30 pm. I'm sure this will be much different after Memorial Day. |

|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues, easy rock hops. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Two or three blowdowns each on Lonesome Lake and Fishin Jimmy. All easy to step right over. Overall, the trails are in excellent condition. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Only saw one dog at the parking lot. |
|
 | Bugs: |
The bugs were out and about, but they weren't biting just yet. They were a little more bothersome at the summit as we hung out and ate lunch. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
They are two items at the junction of the Kinsman Ridge Trail. One dog leash and one micro spike. |

 | Comments: |
It was a beautiful day to be out there. Plenty of sunshine and very little wind. Great views at the summit. I figured we'd do this one now as I don't want to be around Lafayette Campground after Memorial Day. No need for any traction on this route, snow is gone! |
